Simple Salad to make with chicken b*****s?

Question

I want to make a salad with pieces of chicken, something simple, and something without mayo please!

What are some good ideas?? I was thinking a regular Chicken Ceaser Salad, however I am only planning on using lemon juice as my dressing...and a ceaser salad will not be good with lemon juice.

So any ideas??

Answer 1

Like you said..Chicken Ceaser Salad sounds good. But maybe try doing a Asian Chicken Salad. Or a lemon chicken salad. THose are very good. Good luck!

Answer 2

Answer 3

3/4 c. pecan halves

1 1/2 qt. mixed salad greens, washed and crisped

Orange Vinaigrette

Melt butter in frying pan over low heat. Add pecans and stir until nuts darken slightly and have a toasted flavor, about 6 minutes. Pour onto paper towels to drain. Arrange an equal amount of salad greens on 4 dinner plates and sprinkle greens equally with the pecans.

Cut each half-breast in slanting slices 1/4 inch thick. Arrange overlapping slices of each half on a plate along side of greens. Spoon vinaigrette over greens and chicken.

OVEN SMOKED CHICKEN:

Pour 4 tablespoons liquid smoke into a 5 to 6 quart pan. Set a perforated or wire rack in the pan. Arrange 4 half b*****s in a single layer on rack and tightly cover the pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven until food tests done, 20 to 25 minutes until white in center. b*****s should be boned and skinned.

ORANGE VINAIGRETTE:

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons salad oil, 1 tablespoon thinly slivered or shredded orange peel (colored part only), 2 teaspoons honey, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper.

Answer 5

You can make Thai chicken salad by using lemon juice or lime juice ,chili sauce ,a pin of sugar and fish sauce or salt . Add some of onion ,scallion,

then mix with your green salad .I make it all the time .

Answer 6

An Italian or Greek style salad dressing with lemon juice rather than vinegar, also cucumber, black olives and feta cheese or gorgonzola (blue) cheese.  

Answer 7

Romaine lettuce topped with Parmesan and lemon pepper chicken and some yummy kalamata olives and I'd probably mix the lemon juice with some Extra Virgin olive oil and spices for a yummier dressing.

Answer 8

I love fresh fruit.  Especially something like strawberries or blueberries thrown in with the lettuce and chicken.  Maybe even a few pecans or almonds.  Try some thinly sliced red onions. A bit of feta cheese if you like that.  Looks nice and is refreshing.

Answer 9

Why not add mandarin orange, red onion, and some either crunchy noodles or slivered almonds.
